New Jersey requires both parents to complete a parenting class in divorce, nullity, or separate maintenance cases involving minor children under N.J.S.A. § 2A:34-12.5. The court shall order completion of the Parents' Education Program prior to entry of final judgment, with failure to participate considered as a factor in custody and visitation determinations.
Our class covers all topics required by New Jersey statute, including understanding the legal and financial aspects of family matters, helping children cope with family changes, and recognizing when cooperation may be inappropriate in domestic violence situations. The program is available online and approved by New Jersey courts statewide, providing the flexibility to complete this mandatory requirement on your schedule.
Both parents must attend separate sessions as specified in the statute. Upon completion, you'll receive an instant certificate with QR verification that satisfies New Jersey's Parents' Education Program requirement under N.J.S.A. §§ 2A:34-12.1 to 2A:34-12.8.
New Jersey's Parents' Education Act creates a unique dual-track system where parents can complete the requirement through either court-administered county sessions or approved private providers. Under Directive #11-19, each county offers court-run sessions twice monthly, and online completion through qualified providers is approved across all 21 New Jersey counties.
